Besides that this was clearly a security f*ckup, in my mind it's almost equivalent to running those third party liters in our Internet-connection-enabled editors and IDEs. Other than one banking project, I don't think I ever had t

My nightmare is that one of those auto updating vim/vscode/your-favorite-IDE plug-ins That many of us happily use on all the monorepos we work on, at one point invoke a "linter" (or as in this case, configure a linter ma

I cannot say all of them were performing bad But yeah, some of them... Definitely. Someone said in another thread, it's none of my business. Indeed. Especially as an external. I also would never report any of my suspicion. Sometimes,ho

To defend @bagacrap, they said they tend to be a bit suspicious. And I am, too, when I hear this weekly from the same person (and when I ask back next day, if she recovered, she asks me "from what"?) I'm all in for more times

Indeed, I, as a fully remote, probably overworked person, sometimes wonder if I'm a loser just because I never * pick up Becky from school * feel under the weather today so I'll be offline and "take it easy" (never hear

I didn't expect this name showing up here. There is no way I can start listening to Fratres without tears appearing in my eyes. It's a work of an impossible master mind, a piece that converts the performer's precision into t

Oh nice thanks. Great idea with the async prompt update. The repo hasn't seen new commits since more than a year, but new issues are still opened. Is it abandoned?

Honestly, I'm quite OK with bash+liquidprompt. It is probably an order of magnitude slower than these fancy new stuff. Even with a huge monorepo and git stats displayed after every press of return it's OK (I win time at other plac

FWIW I only ever saw zsh at colleagues screen(share) with Oh-My-Zsh 1. Utterly slow and cluttered 2. Colleagues leverage a tenth of its power than what they could achieve with pure bare bones bash Therefore, never bothered to even try (but

> you can argue that borg can just be scripted And that's what I did myself. Organically it grew to ~200 lines, but it sits in the background (created a systemd unit for it, too) and does its job. I also use rclone to store the enc

The forked IDE thing I don't understand either, but... During the evaluation at a previous job, we found that windsurf is waaaay better than anything else. They were expensive (to train on our source code directly) but the solution the

For those who don't even open TFA: she is a creator, not a consumer in social media, and she only started two years ago. It's a long ass post about how fake those people are and how fake you yourself become once you start creating

If you think about it, it's the mirrored version of python object/class methods: they receive the object (self) / class (cls) as the first parameter. Same with Rust's trait impl's methods.

Reminds me of vim script's implicit method syntax [1] Eg. any function call can be converted to a method call on the function's first parameter: let mylist = [3, 2, 1] " prints "1" as these two are equival

I don't mind this too much. I am happy that I can explore rather "unknown" places without having to look at the Instagram idiots taking their template selfies. As for the Airbnb-problem, I agree it's a shame that tourist

I find it interesting, that some (many? most?) people develop anxiety about the stash of never-read but captured content in their note-taking apps. I would think I am normally this guy. The one, who gets anxious over exactly this kind of ma

Interesting concept. I just told a colleague today, who asked for feedback about his recorded presentation, to turn into "static, boring PowerPoint", at least parts of it. I think most of the people this presentation was for would

He was a temporary PM after the previous one (Gyurcsany) resigned after a motion of no confidence against him. Bajnai didn't do much, handled the 2008 crisis, and it was known he would not continue. Funnily, Gyurcsany was removed after

Before his second term came, it was the Socialist party in coalition with the (left) Liberals[1] for 8 years. I don't recall to have an equivalent of Sleepy Joe, but one of the early left wing PM certainly seemed a bit dumb. The "

Maybe not that interesting for a non-Eastern-European, but Orbán went all mad when after his first term he lost the elections. He swore to come back and take revenge. And then 2010-2025 happened, we saw what the revenge was. Trump coming ba

Above 50? My 30+ year old American friends are all running on pills, daily, many different of them. I was shocked. So I am rather with you. It should be normal not to take medicines.

While that's true, UBS also canceled some Filipino contracts. I guess UBS just sucks in general and has to cut costs a lot, these days.

You didn't say they are clueless but I did :-) Also, I'm not saying that it's great to have these high performant researcher-founded startups, my point is simply that because of these, the "numbers" don't look

To your main point: it feels like CH is losing a lot of "in-house" knowledge and mostly the managerial / leader positions are growing here. This is somewhat masked by the fact that the universities show top notch research (ma
